Westbound in the gloom |
| Description: |
A westbound auto rack train holds at a siding near Newkirk NM, behind UP and CSX power. This is where shooting through bus windows really sucks. The light is bad to begin with, and the tinted windows only make it worse. The only thing saving this shot is that the train was sitting still. |

Rolling to a meet |
| Description: |
Elsewhere in this album, we have UP 4340 west in a siding. Heres why he was waiting: this eastbound stack train. The framing on this is perfect. All I needed was a littl sun. |

Work extra |
| Description: |
A lot of maintenance must be done on a line like Cajon, due to the constant traffic and resulting stress on the physical plant. A UP work train is on the hill, seen from I 15. |

Autos east |
| Description: |
As we approached our rest break at Barstow, we ran along the tracks for a short distance. For once a train showed when I wanted it, and was able to get a passably decent shot of the power. And-check out that lead unit!! I've seen many a patch paint job, going back to Conrail in the early days, but this is my first X out. Also, the third unit is 3751, but not the one you were hoping for :-) |

It was fairly busy the day we came down Cajon into the LA basin. This BNSF freight was climbing to Summit as we descended on i 15. |
